Awesome reel! But one issue...Abu please listen.Hands down the best spinning reel I've used to date in its category. I've used Shimano Stradic CI4+ from my brother for a month and I feel like the SX is a better reel. He also agreed because of the price point. Only one problem and its happens to almost all my Abu spinning reels. It's the reverse switch. Right out of the box I've notice that the switch doesn't lock the reverse fully. At times it'll still go in reverse. Luckily I know how to fix it. It's an easy one. But it could spell trouble for customers paying $150 for a reel that should work. Love the reel and its lightweight. Get QA on it. Thanks

Best bang for your buck!I've use this reel for all my dropshotting. Combining this reel with braid and a fluoro leader makes dropshotting and feeling that super light bite an excellent combination. Once they hit this reel has the power to keep that line tight and bring them back with ease and control. I'd highly recommend this reel if any one is on a budget but still wants that high quality reel.

Abu garcia revo sx 40Ive fished with abu garcia most of my fishing life and this is the best reel I've used hands down in the line up. I've had this reel for about a year fishing all bass spieces such as hybrid, large mouth, striped, white, and even crappie sometimes when I don't feel like changing setups. The drag is great and hasn't let down when hauling in 5+ lb hybrids and stripers. I dipped the reel in water by accident when I fell in the Guadeloupe river and needed a rinse and lubrication after the trip. If you don't oil it back up, it will sound more noisy. Overall I love abu garcia and wish they made bigger reels targeting hybrid and striped bass and jetty fishing. I like having the spool hold more than 200 yards.

SX20 and SX30I purchased an SX30 for a trip to Canada paired with a St. Croix 7' medium fast tip rod. Fantastic SM combo. Returned and got the SX20 paired with a Vendetta 7' medium/light x-fast tip. Actually like the feel of the Vendetta better, even though the med/lt is as stiff as the St. Croix med.
These were the first two spinning reels I bought that were not a "combo" and were over $100. If I need more they will be Revo Sx's. The surprise for me was the second spool. A fantastic plus and very handy. Next year I can take two rods/reels and have four options.
What surprises me is you do not list the second spool in the description of the reel. Most guys I know will only buy when a second spool is offered. I could not find any retailer or even your site that mentioned a second spool. You make fantastic products...you should mention a second spool in the description on models where it is available.

Great reel, if it would function rightGot a Revo SX for Christmas and was absolutely thrilled with it looking it over. Once spooled my excitement started to die as I saw that the bailer arm would rotate lower then the spool, therefore spooling the line off the spool and around the line and yardage recommendations. I respooled the reel multiple times just to have a weird pyramid shape form over and over. This caused casting difficulty and added to line bunching. On the other hand the drag settings work better than any reel I've tried and can be tuned to anything you would like with out finicking with the knob back and forth trying to get what you want. I'm sure the reel I received was faulty from the factory and I will be rewriting this review after Abu Garcia gets back to me. I absolutely love the reel I just wish it worked right.

Solid ReelBought 2 of these to go along with some more expensive models I already had to see how they matched up side by side. I purposely put 1 on my drop shot and 1 on my shakeyhead to split the reels equally with my other reels. All are sunline braid mainline with a flouro top shot. The Revos preformed extremely well! The casting distance is awesome as the line rolls off the spool extremely well. There hasn't been any real issues with them what so ever other than a couple times while bouncing a bait free it seemed to free spool the handle as if the switch was disengaged? Not sure what actually happened but I havent had that happen in a long time and so I think maybe I hit the switch? The drag on these reels I actually prefer to my more expensive models from another brand and those are WELL reknown reels. It rools the line of smooth and even on the fight and thats with fish up to 7# so far. When you fish reels of this quality and PLAY A FISH you'll have no doubts about "sissy sticking" even big ones
